The data is purged from the system after the specified number of days.

Deleted Objects

168 hours

Number of hours to retain objects that are deleted from an adapter data source or server before deleting them fromvRealize Operations Manager.

An object deleted from an adapter data source is identified byvRealize Operations Manageras not existing andvRealize Operations Managercan no longer collect data about the object. WhethervRealize Operations Manageridentifies deleted objects as not existing depends on the adapter. This feature is not implemented in some adapters.

For example, if the retention time is 360 hours and a virtual machine is deleted from avCenter Serverinstance, the virtual machine remains as an object invRealize Operations Managerfor 15 days before it is deleted.

This setting applies to objects deleted from the data source or server, not to any objects you delete fromvRealize Operations Manageron the Inventory page.

A value of-1deletes objects immediately.

You
can define the number of hours per object type to retain objects that
no longer exist and check for object type overrides. To add individual
object types and set up their values, click theObject Deletion Schedulingicon. You can also edit or delete these object types.

Deletion Schedule Interval

24 hours

Determines
the frequency to schedule deletion of resources. This setting works
with the Deleted Objects setting to remove objects that no longer exist
in the environment.vRealize Operations Managertransparently marks objects for removal that have not existed for the length of time specified under Deleted Objects.vRealize Operations Managerthen removes the marked objects at the frequency specified under Deletion Scheduling Interval.

Object History

90 days

Number of days to retain the history of the object configuration, relationship, and property data.

The
configuration data is the collected data from the monitored objects on
which the metrics are based. The collected data includes changes to the
configuration of the object.

The data is purged from the system after the specified number of days.

Session Timeout

30 minutes

If your connection tovRealize Operations Manageris idle for the specified amount of time, you are logged out of the application.

You must provide credentials to log back in.

Symptoms/Alerts

45 days

Number of days to retain canceled alerts and symptoms.

The alerts and symptoms are either canceled by the system or by a user.

Time Series Data Retention

6 months

Number
of months that you want to retain the collected and calculated metric
data for the monitored objects. This setting is set to 6 months by
default for 5 minutes interval data retention.

Additional Time Series Data Retention

36 months

The
number of months that the roll-up data extends beyond the regular
period. The roll-up data is available starting from the end of the
regular period and until the end of the roll-up data retention period.
If you specify 0 as the value, then this will effectively disable the
Additional Time Series Data Retention time and only data specified in
Time Series Retention is stored. This setting ensures that after 6
months of normal retention for 5 minutes, the seventh month data is
rolled up into a one Hour roll up. You can set up this option up to 120
months for data roll ups.

Deleted Users

100 days

You can specify the number of days to keep custom content created by a user who has been removed fromvRealize Operations Manageror by the automatic synchronization of LDAP. For example, the custom dashboards created by a user.

External Event Based Active Symptoms

disabled

The number of days to retain the external event-based active symptoms.

Maintain Relationship History

You can maintain a history of all the relationships of all the monitored objects invRealize Operations Manager.

Dynamic Threshold Calculation

enabled

Determines whether to calculate normal levels of threshold violation for all objects.

If the setting is disabled, the following area ofvRealize Operations Managerdoes not work or are not displayed:

Alert symptom definitions based on dynamic thresholds will not work

Metric charts that display normal behavior are not present

Disable this setting only if you have no alternative options for managing resource constraints for yourvRealize Operations Managersystem.

Cost Calculation

The host time at which cost calculations are run.

Customer Experience Improvement Program

enabled

Determines whether to participate in the Customer Experience Improvement Program by havingvRealize Operations Managersend anonymous usage data to https://vmware.com.

Allow vCenter users to log in to individual vCenters using the vRealize Operations Manager UI

In thevRealize Operations Manageruser interface,vCenter Serverusers can log in to individualvCenter Serverinstances. Disabled by default.

vCenter Serverusers can log in fromvCenter Serverclients. Enabled by default.

In thevRealize Operations Manageruser interface,vCenter Serverusers can log in to allvCenter Serverinstances. Enabled by default.

Allow vCenter users to log in from vCenter clients

enabled

Allows vCenter users to log in from the vCenter clients.

Allow vCenter users to log in to all vCenters using thevRealize Operations ManagerUI

enabled

Allows vCenter users to log in to all vCenters using thevRealize Operations ManagerUI.

Automated Actions

enabled or disabled

Determines whether to allowvRealize Operations Managerto
automate actions. When an alert triggered, the alert provides
recommendations for remediation. You can automate an action to remediate
an alert when the recommendation is the first priority for that alert.
You enable actionable alerts in your policies.

Enable Standard Certification Validation

This
option enables certificate verification to Test Connection in the
Create or Modify AI screen, using a standard verification flow.

The option checks CA authority.

Certificate Subject DN

Subject alternative name

Certificate validity period

Revocation list

This
option also presents dialogs to user if one of those checks fail. It is
up to the adapter implementation on how the adapter checks source
certificate validity during a normal collection cycle. On a usual
scenario, adapters just perform a thumb-print verification. However, in
case this flag is enabled, Test connection validates certificates in
full scale and accepts certificates that are matching all criteria
without any user dialogs.

Allows non-importedVMware Identity Managerusers to be created automatically as read-only users upon first access. If disabled, onlyVMware Identity Managerimported users or users belonging to importedVMware Identity Managergroups will be granted access.

Currency

You
can specify the currency unit that is used for all the cost
calculations. You can select the type of currency from the list of
currency types by clickingChoose Currency. From theSet Currency, select the required currency and confirm your action by clicking the check box, and set the currency.

Starting from vROPS 7.5 now you can use metric correlation feature. What is it, what it can do.....right this is what you want to know?

Basically this feature checks same trend in other metrics of either:-

All Self Metrics = In this it checks same trend in other metrics of same object. If it is there it will report those metrics too. By default it shows 10 results only but you can scroll down and click on Show More to get more results if any result is there.

Selected Metric of all Peers = Peers means same type of object under same parent. It will check is there any other object of same type under same parent has same trend for the same metric which we have selected? If yes, it will report those objects too.

If you were VCP 4, VCP5 or VCP 6 Certified in any of the VMware Certification Track and if these certifications were expired too? Then now this is right time to open your VMware Certification Portal again .....Your VCP Certifications are Live again after Death (Expiry).

In vROPS Reports are used to share the operational status information with stakeholders.

What's New in vROPS 7.5 Reports

1. Colorization = If View is also configured with the colorization (See this Post) then it can also be added in the PDF Generated reports too.
Toggle this Colorization Switch as shown in the screenshot

Now generate the report and you can see the same colorization which you have configured in View is in the report too, as the screenshot of generated report is shared here too.

What is View in vROPS
How the Collected data is presented by vROPS that can be controlled through views.

View Presentation Types

What's New in View in vROPS 7.5

Grouping Option = Ability to group List views based on parent or descendant objects.
Summaries at sub-groups levels are also available in views and reports.

Timestamp = Views are enhanced to track changes in metrics and properties over time, with relative and absolute timestamps.

Timestamp Option in vROPS 7.5
There was no timestamp option till vROPS 7.0. Due to this it was difficult for someone to track when this metric value was reported last. From vROPS 7.5 onwards you can add relative and absolute timestamps.

Relative Timestamp = Relative timestamp is the value which shows how many minutes ago it was updated as you can see in below given screenshot.

Absolute Timestamp = In this it shows absolute timestamp as you can notice in the screenshot when it was updated last.

Grouping Objects in vROPS 7.5
Ability to group List views based on parent or descendant objects. Summaries at sub-groups levels are also available in views and reports. Like in this example i have done VM grouping based on ESXi Hosts.

Metric Coloring (Not New in vROPS 7.5) but earlier this colorization was limited to vROPS Product UI means it was visible in the product UI but now from vROPS 7.5 onwards it is available in Reports too when reports are generated, if it is configured at view level.
